Some Info about Stainless Steel grades.
Grade 304
Grade 304 is a standard \"18/8\" stainless. It is the most versatile and most widely used stainless steel available, even though a wide range of alternatives are available; and has excellent forming and welding characteristics.
304 stainless steel is most notably present in industrial applications and kitchen equipment. It is a highly heat-resistant grade and offers good corrosion resistance to many chemical corrodents, as well as industrial atmospheres.
Grade 316L
316/316L Stainless Steel: The \" l\'=\"\" designation<br=\"\">The L denotes the low content of carbon in the steel. 316L is best known among fabricators for being resistant to cracks after the welding process is completed. This makes 316L the preferred choice of fabricators who look to build metallic structures for industry applications.</br=\"\">
What is the difference between 316 and 416 stainless steel?
The 416 will have much less resistance to pitting, but it will have better stress corrosion cracking resistance. The 416 is heat-treated to achieve its strength, the 316 must be cold worked to increase its strength.
